In an interview for MSNBC conducted by theGrio’s Chris Witherspoon, Boseman opened up about playing Brown and revealed what he thinks to be the biggest misconception the public has about the Get on Up singer.

“I think people usually make statements about him being crazy. Most people think that he was on drugs his whole life, and that’s absolutely not true,” said Boseman. “There was a period of time where he did make that a part of his life, but it wasn’t the entire time. In fact, he spent a lot of time being anti-drugs, a lot of time making songs about that.”

Boseman, who starred last year as Jackie Robinson in the critically acclaimed biopic, 42, says he has no plans of bringing any other icons to life but will never say never.

“The rest of the characters need to be made up. No more icons until God sends one.”
